Manh had a traffic accident 10 days before, breaking one of his legs and having to wear a cast. He is currently unable to walk and has to rely on his relatives for all his daily activities. Despite the accident before the exam day, Manh still tried his best to study and participate in the exam.

Sharing Manh's situation, the volunteer team at Thanh Chuong 3 High School's exam site, led by Mr. Nguyen Nhat Duc - Secretary of the school's Youth Union, took on the task of picking up and dropping off Manh during the exam days.

The distance from Manh's house (Cat Van commune) to the Thanh Chuong 3 High School exam site is more than 8km. Volunteers used motorbikes to transport Manh from his house to school, then used a wheelchair to take Manh to the exam room.

According to teacher Nguyen Nhat Duc, in the exam room, Manh was given priority in a suitable position to do the test. He was allowed to use a desk suitable for wheelchair users. Manh himself is also a good student.

During the first exam, thanks to the care and help of teachers and volunteers, Manh's exam mentality was quite good. He said he completed the exam as expected and will try harder in the following exams.
